Jira (/ˈdʒi.rɑː/ JEE-rah) (stylized JIRA) is a proprietary issue tracking product, developed by Atlassian. It provides bug tracking, issue tracking, and project management functions. Although normally styled JIRA, the product name is not an acronym, but a truncation of Gojira, the Japanese name for Godzilla, itself a reference to Jira's main competitor, Bugzilla. It has been developed since 2002.
According to Atlassian, Jira is used for issue tracking and project management by over 25,000 customers in 122 countries around the globe. Some of the organizations that have used Jira at some point in time for bug-tracking and project management include Fedora Commons,Hibernate,JBoss,Skype Technologies,Spring Framework, and The Apache Software Foundation, which uses both Jira and Bugzilla. Jira includes tools allowing migration from competitor Bugzilla.
Jira is offered in three packages:
Jira is written in Java and uses the Pico inversion of control container, Apache OFBiz entity engine, and WebWork 1 technology stack. For remote procedure calls (RPC), Jira supports REST, SOAP, and XML-RPC. Jira integrates with source control programs such as Clearcase, Concurrent Versions System (CVS), Git, Mercurial, Perforce,Subversion, and Team Foundation Server. It ships with various translations including English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.
